I wish Plex or Jellyfin would get support for audiobooks. I can keep my music library on my phone but my audiobook library is much larger and sometimes I get an itch to listen to something I don't have on me.
- CWuestefeld 4y agoPlex has a setting at the library level that tells it to remember your last spot in an audio track. So if you set up your audiobooks as if they're music, this will allow you to listen to them reasonably through plex/plexamp. That's not really a satisfying solution - you're missing out on the metadata matching features of the system. But it does get you there. There's another app, audiobookshelf[1], that does this better. There's a server component analogous to plex server, as well as a web app or a mobile app for playback. The user experience is way better, but organizing the audio files is rather a pain.

- Arn_Thor 4y agoI just set up Plex with the Audnexus agent (https://github.com/seanap/Audiobooks.bundle https://github.com/seanap/Audiobooks.bundle), using the Prologue app (https://prologue.audio/ https://prologue.audio/) to listen on my phone. It was a little bit of a fiddle to set up, but it's worked wonderfully.
